The Day has Dawned.

It seems like it took forever, but the day is here when I finally head overseas again. I haven't been anywhere off continent since Germany in 1990 and that was a working trip.

Carbotrons

The last week I've been deliberately lax on my diet because getting to eat what I want helps alleviate the loneliness from taxlady being so far away. Something I've discovered though is that my body now has definite upper limits on how many carbs it wants to take in in a week.

What with having pizza two days ago, a hamburger yesterday and pancakes this morning, my body is crying "Enough!"

So, I found I didn't actually enjoy my pancakes, despite having been looking forwards to them for about 6 months now. My body just thought it was way too many carbs.

So, there you go, Atkins has ruined me for high-carb living.

Well, that's it.

Everything is ready. My bags are packed and waiting by the front door and a cab has been called. I'm actually 30 minutes ahead of schedule, but I'd rather wait at the airport than hang around here for half-an-hour for no reason.

I'll try to get online when I can, but my appearances here are bound to be spotty over the next three weeks.

See ya!
